And they all were rejected with reasons and explanations of why they are
not suitable for Fedora - be it legal issues or deviation from
upstreams, etc. These directly counter the goals of the Fedora Project
as a whole. 

Granted, they almost certainly would improve Fedora in the short-term
for many; but they would just as certainly harm us as a whole.

We want to make things easy and simple, yes. In fact, we LOVE doing
this. But doing so in a manner that is legally-dubious (proprietary
drivers or non-Free codecs, etc.) or pushes us _away_ from proper
community involvement (such as significant upstream deviations) is
simply not feasible for us.

I've heard good things about OpenSUSE, but from my trials with it in KVM
last year, it's quite a beastly thing at first. To each his own, I
suppose. =)
